When it comes to iconic names in drumming,
few have left such an immense mark on the history of music as this man. Since
the late 1970s, Grammy-winner John “JR” Robinson has been at the
forefront of recorded music and the shear magnitude of hit records that he’s
played on is astounding. Songs that
changed the face of popular music. Soundtracks-of-our-lives type songs. Just a few of the titles JR played on include
We Are The World, All Night Long, I’m So Excited, Express Yourself, Higher
Love, Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, Rock With You, Change The World, the list
goes on and on. John “JR” Robinson’s playing on the track “Ain’t Nobody”, by
Rufus & Chaka Khan continues to inspire countless drummers who are learning
to play funk music funkier. His
work on Michael Jackson’s ground-breaking record Off The Wall established his
place as the first-call session drummer and to this day, he remains close with
producer Quincy Jones. John’s
relationships with legends David Foster and Barbara Streisand spans decades and
he’s appeared on soundtracks for many of our favorite movies including My
Cousin Vinnie, Independence Day, Anchorman, and Pirates Of the Caribbean. In 2016, JR made Rolling Stone’s Top 100
Greatest Drummers of All time, further cementing his legacy.
